Dear Diary, For the last several months, the British had been increasing defense in Hong Kong. Several years ago, I was a young man determined to earn the money in Hong Kong and survive this harsh period. And although Hong Kong isn’t as harsh as Nanjing, this country is being played around in war between two powerful countries. Foreign white men who are not only from Britian, but also from Canada has stationed here for defense. I started seeing more Candian troops from Winnipeg and even some Canadian civilians walking around the streets. The new job at the factory has been so far good. However, recently these days I am fearing that I can no longer keep this job forever. Another rumor has been going around that the Japanese can attack and it’s unpredictable! How miserable and scared will I be if Japanese forces barge into the factory, grabbing men and women who are working away from the machines and dragging them as prisoners. The sight just frightens me.
However, it came true. The day I forgot about the possibility of an attack from the Japanese was they day the factory was attacked by them. The door burst opened and the workers turned around to see what it was, in matter of seconds, everyone screamed and ran for their lives. Hopeless, I ran away as fast as I could. Suddenly, someone grabbed me by the wrist and I knew that my life ended at that moment. I turned around and surprisingly it was a face of a Canadian man. His name was Tom Mckenzie. He was trying to help me escape! We both ran for our lives and finally escaped from the factory, but the luck didn’t last long when we were quickly captured by the Japanese soldiers. Right now I’m held captive with other workers. Wait, hold on someone’s coming!
